Will Ted Thompson retire soon?

There are days that you really appreciate this job and the fact you get to work with so many good people. There are other days when you’re having trouble, and stubbing your toe, and you feel like ‘holy smokes, what are we doing?’ and you want to just ride off into the sunset. I’ve had no thoughts along the lines of leaving.

Thompson said he'll retire to scouting once it's not longer fun... great coaches, great team, great system in place, President that lets him do what he does and everyone likes him as long as they keep winning... what's not fun? Should be fun years as long as they keep guys healthy and keep winning.

And as far as I know, no one to bug him he needs to go visit family member so and so more often and see their kids more often etc....

I read an article once about this. It said that he's committed for a long time and having no wife or kids leaves him the time to keep doing this as long as he wants.

Beast nailed it. He said once it stops being fun is when he'll walk away.

He just lost another protege. Reinfeld in Tennessee, Schneider in Seattle and McKenzie in Oakland.

He'll need to bring Elliot Wolf along. It'll be a few years yet at least.

Alonzo Highsmith is on the staff too.

As he said, he'll stay as long as he's having fun. Much of that depends on how long Aaron can play at a high level and the ability to replace him when he's finished. Ted Thompson does a good jobs building a team so he can build a good team around a good QB. That means they'll win and be contenders in the playoffs. Winning is fun. So, to my way of thinking, in this regard, QB is the key. Good QBs for a long time, Ted Thompson is here a long time.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Besides rock star, I can't think of a better job than 🇹🇹 has. I think he's happy. He's got a stone face, but seems at least content. He's respected. There used to be a lot of 🇹🇹 haters (I was one of them) but I think 🇹🇹 has won us all over now.

You win, people love you. You lose, people hate you.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's better to have $17m to use on players who will be on the field. That's why trade/release is talked

Zero2Cool (1h) : post june is $7m cap hit with $17m saving

Zero2Cool (1h) : oops meant $10m cap hit

Zero2Cool (1h) : And pre june is $10m savings

Zero2Cool (1h) : Can't make him play.

dhazer (1h) : I am curious why the big need to release Jaire, we have 29 million cap space we arent spending and would only gain $6 million/ make him play

Zero2Cool (2h) : Joey Bosa signed with Bills?

dfosterf (2h) : What they are offering is a left over case of Leinies from the Chippewa Falls plant

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (3h) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (3h) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (3h) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (3h) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (3h) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (3h) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (3h) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (3h) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (10h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (12h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (13h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (15h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (18h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (19h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (19h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (20h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Minnesota Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. is returning on a three-year, $66 million deal

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : Damn

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : Saints are re-signing DE Chase Young to a three-year, $51 million deal worth up to $57 million.

Martha Careful (11-Mar) : 49ers releasing FB Juszcyk any interest?

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : digits of four

Zero2Cool (11-Mar) : four digits

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Eh, don't think so. better to split

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings
